Too soon vacation was over, and it was back to the old routine. With only three weeks until the end of the semester, the invasion of 106 freshmen, and report cards, we buckled down and made the most of our time. In the honor's assembly, the school paid tribute to those of us on the high honor and honor rolls, the toot- ball squads, and the librarians. Hanging over the track, and crowding the bleachers, we watched our varsity basket- ball team start oft the season like a ball of tire, but soon the flame flickered. Losing twice to West High was a blow to our pride but we survived. Minstrel show practice brought the boys out of their gloom and almost any time of the day you could hear impromptu male quartets or the baritone voice of another Perry Como in the vicinity of the boys' lockers.

We were hostesses at the Empty Stocking Christmas party and gave gen- erously to Delphi's Canned Goods' Drive. The freshmen triumphed in this event, we're ashamed to admit. Junior Red Cross members, meanwhile, gave of their time to carol at Copley Hospital. The choral show, Three Songs for Christmas, was one of the most impressive that any of us have ever viewed or participated in. The music was superb, and the lighting and scenery were beautiful! Concluding the Yuletide season, we made merry at the Boys' Club Christmas party before rushing home to wrap gifts and trim trees.
